The History of Original Dungeons & Dragons

Note: This was a revised version after the original was taken down on a copyright notice. The video has been edited to resolve the original claim and hopefully prevent a future takedown. New videos to come!

In this episode we introduce another new format as we discuss an entire D&D system and it's history. This episode focuses on the original edition of D&D, the one that is often referred to as edition zero. Come learn about the origins of many early D&D concepts such as levels, classes, and THAC0.

Music: Telengard (Avalon Hill), Ultima III: Exodus (Origin Systems)
